Nope..
What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 1 Corinthians 15: 27 Mankind in a new creation in Christ will rule angels and all Gods creation. (NOT PEOPLE)

*** So after examining all the scriptures, evidence, and using an unbiased reasoning ability, what do these errors signify to you? Should you conclude that Jehovah's Witnesses cannot possibly be God's organization of servant****
When the wheat and weeds are separated they have MATURED....full knowledge in Christ ....your church have failed the test of being the separated already matured Christians, you are at best a sect with many errors and/ or at worse a cult that keeps people from the saving presence of Christ the ONLY means of salvation.

| Regarding 1914: The January 1, 1908 WT stated: " We are not prophesying; we are merely giving our surmises . . . We do not even aver that there is no mistake in our interpretation of prophecy and our calculations of chronology. We have merely laid these before you, leaving it for each to exercise his own faith or doubt in respect to them."****** Obvious Conclusion... So that is why we are not definite that Christ choose us To be the FDS because our dates may be wrong ..... But no, they based their selection and authority on these dates. Christ selected us as the ONLY CHANNEL at this time, if you do not accept 1914, you will be disfellowshipped !!!! |
so according to the parable, a master has a slave, he asks him to look after his animals and.....then goes away!.
after much time has passed....the master comes back and if he finds the slave has been loyal and has looked after the animals, he calls him a good slave, if not he is an evil slave.. so my point is, jesus handed over responsibility to this slave before he went away, the slave was loyal and a good worker during his absence, then on his return he found him looking after his animals as he asked.
now i know we all see the parable for what it is .. the jesus character was saying "whilst i'm gone, you have to remain loyal and obediant and ready for my return etc".
**** going away 2000 years ago?(according to christianity).****
Not ALL Christianity, partial and hyper preterism eschatology belive that Christ came back as promised at the judgement and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and sometime around that period raptured his church and resurrected those in HIM. Thus the spiritual Jerusalem was born in the heavens, a holy temple of first century believers, aka spiritual 144k.
this is a real puzzler.. .
for christendom at large there is no problem in thinking of humans as a body (tent) which houses the soul.. .
for jehovah's witnesses the human is the tent.
I believe that the mankind made from the dust of the ground, for this specific mortal environment, became a living soul with the spirit of God.
I don't believe that scripture before Christ teaches that the soul or spirit Has continued separate life after death. The Christ Life in clay pots is the Life of a born again, new creation after the resurrection.
Had Christ not come to be the second Adam, this entropic universe and mankind would cease to exist.
This mortal universe and mankind were killed at the cross in Christ and in His resurrection a NEW CREATION was born, and is still in embryo.
before i address the paradox (a statement that contradicts itself) i want to insert a fact from history.. .
the romans used a malleable (and highly poisonous) metal (lead) for water pipes and conduits.
as snows melted into pure water, it was channeled into sluices and pipes made of lead that ran through the cities as drinking water.. .
Devine intervention. 1 John 2:27

if this is "the truth," why has the information provided over the years contained so many errors?
at what point does "error" become "outright lie" for you?
how high (or low) are your standards for your spiritual leaders?
Theos ...**** My tipping point would be a teaching of false doctrine that knowingly went unchecked. Like if the Wt came out and said the Trinity was true. That would be my tipping point that something is wrong******
According to the scriptures Jehovah gave ample evidence that Jesus was the Christ by signs and wonders to Israel to secure the spiritual Israel of God. We are personally promised by the Father in 1 John 5:9-13, That in conjunction with the withness of these earlier followers of Jesus who gave us the NT that the Father will also give us a personal witness when We believe what HE says about HIS Son, In HIM, you will have New life to overcome Satan, sin and death.
I believe most of us agree that through the ages after Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD that the church On EARTH was a mixture of wheat and weeds. It is possible that some groups had more "Bibical" truth than others, but NONE was exclusively used by Jesus and Jehovah.
The WBTS is not JUST claiming That they have more truth than any other church, but CLAIM that they were selected as THE ONLY CHANNEL that Jehovah is using, based on Bibical chronology that ended up with members of the society been in imprisioned in 1919. So regardless of which group has more or less truth, the WBTS EXISTENCE is based on the accuracy of these dates. If these dates are wrong, they may still have some truth, but their foundation of being the ONLY CHANNEL based on dates have proven to be in error and subsequently, they are just another sect at best and a cult at worse.

i loved part 1 by jonsson so this one should be great read as well..
Thanks saved it to my iPad :)
peace to you!
i wanted to get some thoughts out there on this subject, because there are so many people who look to the bible as the image of god.
to the point that they do not look to christ at all, but rather they look to the law or to moses or to the ot as the image of god... over... christ.
Christ is the Son. ..... God is the Father.
Christ IS eternally Begotton from the Father ....SAME NATURE....SAME STUFF...BOTH are called Alpha and Omega which means the whole encompassing of time in a different eternal divine Nature. Trinity is NOT MODALISM <.same PERSONAGE>........it's an isogesis of SAME NATURE, Separate personage. Thanks Tammy for letting me vent, and for revealing that Christ is the personification of Truth, Wisdom and God.....:) Shalom.
jw's will of course argue that they have the truth.. if that be the case, why are they terrified to talk to.
people or visit sights that expose their beliefs?.
if someone speaks the truth there should be nothing.
Ding...The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life...
Yes, that was the book that had me leave the RCC. a best seller in the Guinness book of records I believe, now out of print for their "one generation" from 1914 + 70 years .....nice graphic.....but totally in error and fundamental to their authority and existence.
